Long Travel BS Thread

Passenger.

My driver's side broke a few years back, paid a shop to fix and gusset it. Passenger side broke about four months back, I fixed and gusseted it.

 

is this common?

 

happend to me once. the shop that did my alignment backed the heims out to far and one popped out on me, looks like they unthreaded it to much

 

Definitely what happened. Glad to have the help of TW members and a few jeepers.

 

Glad no one got hurt and you made it home BT23. Yeah I brought your pic over here to see if this has happend to others. Still debating which route I'm going to go when I get my kit.

 

Does anyone know if 08 FJ Doug Thorley headers will fit an 08 Tacoma?

 

Yes

JBA is shit, get Thorley's

 

Ah, how come? I picked up a set of JBA shorties with ceramic coating for stupid cheap.

 

Side by side comparison is shocking. The coating on the DT's is beautiful, I think JBA is just on the outside and not inside. Thorley's have welds that are grinded and smooth, the JBA's I saw looked like they were booger blasted together by a 3rd grader with a flux welder.

Performance wise I'm sure they are fairly similar.

 

Im thinking about selling my truck to a buddy and buying a 1st Gen or earlier Toyota pick-up that will be parked 95% of the time unless I want to go play in the dirt.

I also want to buy one that is done, preferably caged. However, it still needs to pass smog and be street legal. Yes I want to have it all.

Anybody know of any trucks for sale like this for $15k ish? Ive been all over Race Dezert and RDC but havent found "that deal" just yet.

 

amaes except his isn't cab caged but the bed cage was built for a cab cage to tie right into

 

Sweet truck. What is he asking?

 

Last update in his for sale thread is $15k

Thanks. It is a sweet truck. My only concern is the smog piece.

 

I'm thinking about selling my DMZ built truck and building up my FJ instead. Upgraded the spindles to Trac Performance spindles with D35 and lower and upper uniballs. $14k

I think that truck was built by the Pattel brothers. If so it was registered in SoCal a few years ago. I went on a couple desert runs with that rig, it ripped. Very well sorted back then, and looks like it's just been improved. It's hard to find 4wd desert rigs... I don't understand why everyone doesn't build 4wd's for what we do.

 

Yeah, that was Kevin and Son's old truck.
